Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime error

Question

I am trying to run through the Excercise at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/wazplatformtrainingcourse_vmrolelab_topic3 and am getting an error in Task 2 when trying to run Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime:

Add-PSSnapin : Cannot load Windows PowerShell snap-in Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime because of the following error: The Windows PowerShell snap-in module C:\Program Files\Windows Azure Integration Components\v1.6\Powershell\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.Commands.dll does not have required Windows PowerShell snap-in strong name Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.Commands, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35.
At line:1 char:13
+ Add-PSSnapin <<<<  Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime:String) [Add-PSSnapin], PSSnapIn
   Exception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AddPSSnapInRead,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.AddPSSnapinCommand

All previous tasks have completed without issue and task 2, step 2 states that "the snap-in is installed with the integration components and provides access to the Windows Azure runtime environment" which was performed without issue in a previous Excercise and Task.  Has anyone run into this issue?

This didn't help:

PS C:\> get-executionpolicy -list

Answer 5

I have just run into the exact issue using an Azure Worker Role ( osFamily=2).

I have a PowerShell script that I use that imports the Service Runtile to in turn read configuration data from the Service and apply it to my legacy application.

I have tried all the items noted here and still have the issue.

In regards to what is proposed as the answer (for one thing I can't see scripting this to simply do what used to work just fine) it does not work.

I am curious if this actually did anything to resolve the issue for the origional poster.
